Description
De Neve was founded in 1792, though the brewery site dates back to 1772. In addition to producing Lambic, Gueuze, and Kriek, De Neve also produced "high fermentation" (top-fermented) ales such as Nèval Kadet, Nèval Speciale, and Rodal Bier. In 1975, the brewery was acquired by Belle-Vue under Constant Vandenstock, which was itself later acquired by Interbrew in 1991. Despite public protests led by nonprofit group Objectieve Bierproevers (OBP), the brewery was closed three years later in 1994. After sitting vacant for over 20 years, the brewery site was sold in 2006, with plans for a loft apartment building complex. The buildings that formerly housed the brewery were recently converted to luxury apartments.

750 ml bottle thanks to Adamchandler. 1981 vintage. Color is amber and the carbonation is nearly flat. Aroma shows apple, oak, minerals with soft funk. This thing is so oxidized that it’s not really drinkable. Wet cardboard an old lemon.

Bottle shared. 1989 vintage. Pours dark orange with a small bubble white head. Aroma is very funky, bright, hay, barnyard, green apples. Taste is damn sour, green apples, vinegar, basement funk, mushroom-like funk.

LCRBM2 "afterparty", Kulminator Antwerpen. ’95 version. Oak and lemon in the aroma. Sweetish flavor (!) with lemon and a touch of oak. Hasn’t lost anything of its power.

Bottle, many thanks JefVerstraete. Deep ruby color with white head. Aroma is sweet, cardboard. Taste is cardboard, iron, oxidized. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Meh but hey, it's a retired Lambic tick!
